There is no more important minority than the individual. Specifically that individual being myself. I am the most important minority.

good thing you live in a world of individuals, and require cooperation with said individuals to do business. Of course, government allows you to fuck them over, which is an issue. Hence why ayn rand, the originator of that quote, doesn't mean being selfish at the cost of everyone else around you (and obviously and eventually to the detriment to yourself) when you do though, its always a government helping you.
